The Arve Valley and  the Upper Giffre : moving forward into the future together.

The name Faucigny : Why ?

 Faucigny, former  province of the  Duchy of Savoy,  situated at the heart of the département of Haute-Savoie has retained its cultural identity throughout the ages. It is a territory comprising  two  geographically identifiable and complementary entities : the  Mid-Valley of the Arve and the Upper Valley of the Giffre.

These two mountain valleys have developed in their different ways according to  their geography and history. At the same time, they have  kept and maintained  close  links as neighbours with a common culture. 
A territory project  has to make good use of the specificities of each  valley  with the common interest in mind.29 communes of this territory have united their efforts to reflect on the future of ‘Faucigny’  and  put together a territory development project.
